Speech Therapy in New York
Speech-language pathologists (SLPs) help children and adults build communication skills — spoken language, understanding others, social communication, and alternatives to speech such as AAC devices or picture systems. Sessions are usually weekly and many therapists coach parents on practicing between visits. Ask whether the clinician has experience with autistic communication styles, including gestalt language processing.
